The Geared Immortal

Chapter 778

(Unedited)

…

The blue sky seems tranquil, serene, and beautiful with a tinge of calmness once one could see its underlying beauty. However, below it, a deadly battle is currently happening as 100 people fought with all their might for their own goals and survival.

In a corner of a forest, a lone figure on top of his flying sword is currently making hand gestures while one rune after another appears.

It did not take long until a strong barrier suddenly envelopes his whole body like a protective circle which made his figure seem to have vanished in the air.

Suddenly, after he banished, three figures flew past him while discussing some of their strategies.

"We should hunt down any single fighter we could see just like what we did before…"

"I will try and distract our target and you two go for the kill. If any one of us is left after this, then we could enter the top and go to the center of the world… Hahaha… This is exciting."

"Hey, you two should focus… I can detect multiple figures fighting ahead."

"Alright, this is our chance! We should lay an ambush for them…"

As the three flew by, that figure who just banished suddenly appears with a slight smirk on his face. Then he stealthily follows those three from afar. As soon as his figure and flying sword moved, it left sparkling dust in the air.

A devastating battle is currently happening upfront and there are many who are hiding in the shadows like a mantis stalking a cicada. Each pair of eyes are eyeing those who are fighting within the forest but because of the skill and ability of those people, none of them are giving off an opening and are still on their flying artifacts.

A handsome demi-human with a brown furry tail of a fox suddenly brandish his claws and sent a few wind blades towards one of the top ten individuals, Suha Loo.

Suha Loo is using a large shield that is also used as a blade. The shape of the shield is like a fat sword and could be used as a shield and a blade at the same time.

Using his artifact, he blocked those wind blades but did not stop at that. He suddenly presses the trigger on the shield's handle and the shield suddenly flew out of his hand. While holding the handle, the bladed shield suddenly flew towards someone who is riding a bamboo artifact.

Caught off guard, that person drew out a few talismans from his pocket and three layers of the glowing barrier were erected in front of him.

As the flying bladed shield hit the barrier a loud bang was heard as a strong force exploded from that powerful impact. It was so strong that it pushes everyone in the surroundings by a few meters. Meanwhile, the bladed shield flew back towards Suha Loo while his target was blasted to the ground and fell on his bamboo flying artifact.

Meanwhile, the demi-human took this chance to attack Suha Loo while the shield is still returning to his hand.

A powerful lightning bolt was sent flying towards Suha Loo, but the latter has already expected this and using his free hand, he extended it and caught the lightning bolt.

Those watching this scene were immediately shocked at how Suha Loo caught the powerful lightning bolt. However, that demi-human sneered as he suddenly snapped his fingers.

Ka-boom!

A powerful explosion that sent lightning sparks all over the place rise up a dust cloud in the air that covered everything. The trees in the surroundings were uprooted from the ground as evidence of the power of the explosion.

Even the demi-human fox flew about 20 meters due to the powerful force.

"Hihi… Let me see you survive that!" he chuckled.

But before the smirk on his mouth faded, he suddenly feels a numbing pain in his chest. He looks down and saw a thin sharp edge of a sword protruding on his chest which pierced his heart. His eyes showed helplessness and disbelief as he slowly turns his head behind him. How could a sword penetrate the gold armor on his body? That is the thing that lingers on his mind before everything slowly turns dark.

But before he lost consciousness, from the corner of his eyes he saw the beautiful smiling face of Linja Ya.

As the dust cloud died down, only two people are left, Linja Ya who waved her sword to remove the golden blood, and Suha Loo who seem to have survived the explosion because of his bladed shield. It just arrived in time for him to protect himself from that powerful explosion.

However, his left hand is a mangled flesh and his expression turned ugly due to the pain he is feeling.

"Hahaha… It seems that only two survived." A figure slowly floated out from a tall tree a little distance away which was not affected by the blast.

"Let me introduce myself… I am John Moss from the Kiwazo main clan." the man with golden hair said as he appears near the two remaining fighters.

On the ground below there are around 10 plus people lying on the ground some are dead while some are just unconscious.

On John Moss's shoulder rested a large artifact that looks like a ship's anchor. With a wide confident grin on his face, he appears in front of those two people who also belong to the top ten in this competition. He is wearing a long black overcoat covering the gold armor on his body. John Moss looks like a pirate from his clothing and bulky features.

"Hey, since we are here, I truly wanted to see who is the strongest of us three… I've been dying to fit my abilities against the two of you. But since you two are wounded, you can take your healing medicines first before we start." John Moss said with a confident smirk.

Hearing his words, Linja Ya and Suha Loo looks at each other and takes out a pill bottle from their pockets.

When John Moss saw this, he suddenly waves his hand and a powerful force appears to surround those two people.

Linja Ya and Suha Loo were caught by surprise. But as fighters who reached the top 10, how could they fall easily from this simple-minded sneak attack.

Using their own domains, they shattered that invisible energy which means to hold their bodies.

But all of a sudden, two figures seem to have materialized from thin air and appear behind Linja Ya and Suha Loo. With a uniformed movement, those two shadows directly stab the two from behind.

Linja Ya quickly shifted her body to the side and was able to dodge such an attack. But her gown was torn apart on her side exposing her snow-white skin that's as smooth as white jade.

But now, a 4-centimeter long gash appears on that supposed unblemished skin and golden blood slowly seeps out of the gash. Though the wound is not that deep, it still made Linja Ya feel a stinging pain.

Meanwhile, Suha Loo did not dodge that much but instead activated an ability that suddenly turned his skin golden brown.

When the thin blade hit his gold armor, a thin barrier seems to have blocked it and deflected the blade. Since Suha Loo did not dodge and decided to defend, he could quickly do a counter-attack with his bladed shield.

And so a bloody head was sent flying in the air.

John Moss's eyes squinted as he saw his companion dying even though they got the upper hand. He did not waste any time as he signaled his hand as he rushes towards Linja Ya. The woman is the stronger of the two and he wanted to deal with her. Since Suha Loo is like a turtle, he did not want to waste his time dealing with him.

After he takes down the woman he could work with his companions to take down that turtle-like man.

With his hand signal, a bunch of people came rushing from their hiding spots and attacked their two targets.

Those who are watching this in the shadows also showed a hint of pity and shook their head at the craftiness of John Moss. They could not deny that even though this man seems to act like a brainless muscle brain, he seems to also have a hint of craftiness in him.

"Those two are done…" a figure said as he vanished from his spot and flew away.

He was interested in the woman as she seems to have some strength in her. However, from this exchange, he seems to have been disappointed.

As one figure unto another disappears, a single figure was left hiding behind a tall tree about 2 kilometers away from that place.

From the cover of the thick leaves above the tall tree, a hollowed long cold metallic rod slowly extended.. And behind that metallic artifact, a figure calmly took an aim like a silent specter waiting to claim his first prey.
